1. **State the problem:** Solve the system of equations using substitution method:
$$2x + y = 7$$
$$x - 3y = 14$$
2. **Isolate one variable:** From the first equation, solve for $y$:
$$y = 7 - 2x$$
3. **Substitute into second equation:** Replace $y$ in the second equation with $7 - 2x$:
$$x - 3(7 - 2x) = 14$$
4. **Simplify and solve for $x$:**
$$x - 21 + 6x = 14$$
$$7x - 21 = 14$$
$$7x = 14 + 21$$
$$7x = 35$$
$$x = \frac{35}{7}$$
$$x = 5$$
5. **Substitute $x=5$ back to find $y$:**
$$y = 7 - 2(5)$$
$$y = 7 - 10$$
$$y = -3$$
6. **Solution:** The solution to the system is $\boxed{(5, -3)}$ which corresponds to option B.
This means the lines intersect at the point $(5, -3)$.
